[Bug 1220426] Re: [nvidia-prime]Freeze while using touchpad

 

well... 
I may not be a developer/programmer but I am a competent pc/laptop technician. So perhaps you should ask yourself:
If these instructions are too vague for me (and others here) to follow, then are they sufficient??
With all due respect of course.....

We were just asking for help. Was it really that much to ask?? Just a few lines of text?
Thanks for all you have done tho. I am sure we can all be productive and happy while our laptops/pc's freeze up while we are using them, or while using low performing and buggy drivers.

Bug description:
  I'm using an Optimus laptop (Asus N43SL)
  nvidia-prime is installed, so my nvidia dedicated graphics card (GT 540m) is in use.

  Once in a while, my screen will freeze, only when I use my touchpad.
  This does not happen with my USB mouse.
  This does not happen either when I uninstall nvidia-prime and use my intel integrated graphics (HD3000).

  I can temporarily solve the issue by doing a VT switch.

  
  In the attached Xorg.0.log, you can see "synaptics: ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad: touchpad found" each time I did a VT switch and regained control.
